A Re-cap of all the Pokemon News

A flood of news mainly pertaining to the video games and anime was announced within hours of each story. Let's review what happened:

From CoroCoro Comics:

At the risk of enraging IGN, the first big story was that of a brand new Pokemon. Meet Ninfia, the new Eevee evolution. It will debut in the Pikachu short 'Pikachu and Eevee Friends' this July in Japan, and in Pokemon X and Y on 3DS this October.

The 16'th Pokemon movie has its title amended to 'Extremespeed Genesect and Mewtwo Reawakened'. It's a surprising turn for what the story for this new movie will be. It is unknown if it is the same Mewtwo we are familiar with from the 1st Pokemon movie and the special 'Mewtwo Returns'. But based on scans leaked, the art for this Mewtwo looks simplified and different from that earlier Mewtwo.

A new Wii U Pokemon game was also leaked in the pages of Corocoro. Unacceptably, it is a third entry in the Pokemon Rumble series, titled Pokemon Scramble U in Japan. Rather than take advantage of the Wii U's creative abilities and take a risk on a new game idea, Nintendo (and developer Ambrella) are content to rehash the same game again.

The Pokemon Company International has made a surprise announcement for a new iOS/Android app called Pokemon TV. It will stream select episodes, movies, and specials from the dub of the Pokemon anime.

With this app announcement, the company has confirmed that there will be a dub of the recent Meloetta short, entitled 'Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade', which many worried if it would be dubbed in English or not. Look for it on the app this Friday, February 15.
